      Okay, we might have to try and game this through. What's the worst case scenario here? Trump fires Fauci and pushes in early May for a quick end to social distancing and a speedy return to normal. What happens next?

      Likely to happen: Some governors will listen (particularly very red states), but most won't. GOP elite very unlikely to challenge Trump on this. Social distancing -- which had been broadly accepted by population -- becomes much more partisan.

          Isn't that crazy? Saving lives has become partisan.

          You can continue sitting at home as long as you like after restrictions end. Maybe some network will make a reality show about corona recluses.

          Hot take: this is counter-programming to take the focus off 22k dead. Sure, he might pull the trigger, but this is also the standard playbook: palace intrigue to shift focus. Remember how long he was about to fire Sessions?

          social distancing has not "been broadly accepted by population" except perhaps in your bubble

          Even in red states there will be divisions. Here in FL mayors were issuing stay at home orders before the governor acted.
